With electric vehicles (EVs) rapidly gaining traction in Singapore, installing and maintaining EV chargers has become a critical part of modern infrastructure. In bustling industrial, commercial, and institutional environments, these charging stations face continuous risks of accidental damage. To protect both the chargers and the vehicles that use them, MPM Plastics Protection from Italy offers an effective solution: the GRD Bollard—purpose-built for EV charger protection in carparks across diverse sectors.

Why EV Charger Protection Matters

1. Costly Downtime
   An out-of-service charger can inconvenience EV users, affect traffic flow in your carpark, and incur unexpected repair costs. By safeguarding the station with GRD Bollards, you reduce the likelihood of collisions and subsequent equipment malfunctions.
2. Vehicle and Charger Safety
   Accidental impacts can damage the car’s charging port or the charger’s electronics. A robust protective barrier helps avoid both physical and electrical problems that could arise from collisions.
3. Public Image and Sustainability Goals
   Many businesses and institutions in Singapore are implementing sustainable practices. EV chargers are a visible symbol of environmental responsibility. Keeping them functional and secure not only meets consumer expectations but also enhances your reputation for corporate social responsibility.

Meet the MPM GRD Bollard

Built for Durability and Performance

• High-Grade Polymer Construction: The advanced plastic material resists corrosion in Singapore’s humid climate, ensuring a rust-free, long-lasting solution.
• Superior Impact Dissipation: Designed to absorb and deflect forces from cars or other vehicles, minimizing direct hits to EV charging units.

Modular and Adaptable

• Customizable Heights and Diameters: Different facilities have varying clearance needs. The GRD Bollard can be tailored to accommodate diverse carpark layouts.
• Straightforward Installation: Quick to set up without demanding major renovations or downtime.

Aesthetic Integration

• Modern Design Options: Rather than clashing with contemporary architecture, the GRD Bollard offers a neat, professional appearance that complements any setting—whether it’s a large industrial hub or a small office complex.
• Enhanced Visibility: Bright colors and reflective elements can be incorporated to make the bollards easy for drivers to notice, preventing inadvertent collisions.

Applications Across Multiple Sectors

1. Industrial Facilities
   Large-scale operations often integrate EV chargers for both corporate fleets and staff vehicles. Positioning GRD Bollards around chargers ensures uninterrupted use, even in areas crowded with delivery trucks and material handling equipment.
2. Commercial Complexes
   In shopping malls and office buildings, reliable EV charging points are an added value for visitors. Installing protective bollards fosters smooth traffic flow while keeping charger units safe from accidental vehicle contact.
3. Institutional Buildings
   Hospitals, universities, and government establishments increasingly offer on-site charging services. By incorporating MPM’s GRD Bollards, these institutions reinforce their commitment to sustainable energy use and public convenience.

Key Benefits for Singapore-Based Operations

1. Reduced Operational Disruptions
   Minimize service interruptions by preventing damage to EV chargers. Fewer repairs translate to consistent availability and higher user satisfaction.
2. Long-Term Cost Savings
   The GRD Bollard cuts down on recurring maintenance expenses by shielding chargers and their cables from collisions. This proactive approach saves time and resources in the long run.
3. Safety and Accessibility
   Clearly marked protective barriers help drivers park accurately, lessening the chance of mishaps that could endanger both people and property.
4. Future-Proofing Your Facility
   As EV adoption grows, securing chargers now positions your organization to handle increased demand and scale more seamlessly when additional stations are required.

Tips for Optimal Implementation

Site Assessment
Map out the carpark to identify critical points where vehicles may come into close contact with charging units. Optimal bollard placement reduces blind spots and mitigates risk.

Clear Signage
Use directional markers and signage alongside GRD Bollards to guide drivers toward designated parking areas for EV charging. This helps avoid confusion and accidental bumps.

Routine Inspections
While the GRD Bollard is built to last, periodic checks ensure they remain firmly anchored and maintain visibility. Early detection of wear or misalignment keeps the protection reliable.

Embrace a Safer, Greener Future

By installing MPM’s GRD Bollards, organizations in Singapore reinforce the safety of EV chargers while underscoring their commitment to sustainable development. Whether you manage an industrial park, a commercial property, or an institutional campus, safeguarding charging infrastructure is an investment in both operational resilience and environmental responsibility.
